I'm looking for an aggressive all terrain tire that will last with high highway miles. Size will be 275/65r20. Thinking about bfg's, toyo, cooper, or nitto. Thanks for input

All terrain, however not the most aggressive, but you will be happier when driving on the Hwy. Michelin LTX A/T2

Check out the Falken Wild Peak A/T. It does not look aggressive but it has been a great overall tire, I have had mine for 2 years and they show very little wear. If you are willing to spend more check out the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac, it looks aggressive and is considered one of the best A/T.

That's like asking 'what's the best ice cream flavor?' :dunno:

 

There are a few new types of tires on the market that are more aggressive than the past typical AT tires, and bridge the gap between AT and MT.

 

The new Toyo OC RT, Cepek Fun Country AT, Mickey Thompson ATZ, Cooper ST Maxx, and others are some examples.

 

You said "aggressive" so I would put my money on the Toyo OC RT or the Cooper ST Maxx. Actually, I did put my money on the Cooper ST Maxx.

Has anyone seen the new BFG AT ko2's? They look good. Could be a good option but I'm not even sure they're for sale yet.

I like the looks of the KO2 as well. I had KOs on my old truck and they were really quiet. I think they're supposed to release them on Nov 1.

This is what I'm thinking of.. KO2s aren't out till early next month, but they look nice.

 

I've also been considering the Toyo OC AT. since I'm keeping stock size I don't want the side wall TOO aggressive.

 

Heard lots of good things about the OC RT though. It's a hybrid between the MT and AT. You get them ore aggressive tread and sidewall without the noise and wear of an MT. I think it's a smart move from Toyo.

 

I'm probably 95% on road, and my offroading is 99% gravel, maybe 1% clay/grass/leaves so I don't need some super swampers myself.

 

Nitto terra grapplers are fairly nice but the sidewall doesn't really leave me saying "aggressive." I think you'd need their MT to really get that.

 

It's all about the sidewall these days. Plenty of tires can do well offroad, but wont LOOK aggressive.

Nitto also has trail grapplers which are an aggressive all terrain, one step under their mud tires

Take a look at Cooper ZEON LTZ's I ran two sets on my 07 model and got about 45K miles a set. Mostly Highway miles and they are quiet and aggressive.

Not sure if it matters to you or not, but most of the tires in this size (275-65-20) are going to be LT series tires. I just had Bridgestone Dueler A/T's in that size installed last week, and there is a definate difference between the "P" tires and "LT" tires. They are heavier, so you typically lose a mpg or two because of that, and then with them being 10 ply (vs 4 ply on the "P"s) the LT tires ride a bit rougher than the stock tires. As for my input on the Bridgestone A/T's.....its only been a week so the jury is still undecided. Haven't had them off road yet, but in the rain they did quite well, and on the highway, they have just a little hum to them. And as I said, I probably lost a MPG or so, as well as the ride being a little rougher than stock was.

Check out the Hankook Dyna pro ATM as well. I ran a set of cooper LTZ on my last vehicle. They were quiet, looked good, and performed well in gravel. Not great in snow (not sure where you're located). I went with the toyo OC At2 and am very happy with them other than the 10 ply ride. The Hankooks I mentioned look great for a "p" rated tire.

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
